Got half the presents already, and am just in the process of wrapping them :) I know I'm early, but I like to get it done and then I can sit back and enjoy December with its christmas lights and chocolates and scented candles and herbal tea, while everyone else is rushing around in a mad hurry, trying to get everything done last minute :)
 
I'm determined to be all done and dusted by the end of this month! Hubby is taking some time off in December so I want us to have some time together without having to worry about Christmas shopping and all that ;)
 
Still havent done any shopping yet but I have bought the Christmas cards ! ;D

That sounds really nice. I say every year I'm going to do it early but I never do. If only I knew what to get everybody.
 
Posted this on the other christmas thread - my way of dealing with all the madness:

Abnoba said:
I start in January to make a word document - first it says BIRTHDAYS and then all the names of friends and family who will get anything, in date order. after that, CHRISTMAS - all the names again.

then during the whole year, if I get a sudden thought "oh she might like that!" I write it down in that list behind the name. Applies to both birthdays AND christmas. For example I found something for my mum in law for christmas in August - I just knew shed like it - so I bought it. Things that have already been bought I put in bold letters.

So when it comes to christmas time, I look at the list, where during the whole year I have already put suggestions for gifts down - and then I just need to go shopping, without the headache to find the right present in a month.

Works well for me :)

Car is going in for an MOT and Service next week.... If it does well then I will start my christmas shopping, if it goes badly, well, I'll have to cancel Christmas for this year :D
